    I would probably cook the chicken and then mix in spinach at the last minute so it just wilts. Then mix with cooked pasta and add some olive oil. I would also chuck some sultanas/raisins in if you have some.

  • Ooh - I did chicken and spinach spaghetti for dinner the other night. Do you have any chopped tomatoes and mozarella? If so this is the recipe I used. It went down a treat :D
    Squares knitted for my throw ~ 90 (yes!!! I have finally finished it :rotfl: )
    Squares made for my patchwork quilt ~ 80 (only the "actual" quilting to do now :rotfl:)
  • you could mix the spinach with some soft cheese & stuff the chicken with that? then have the pasta as a side dish

    or do an italian inspired bake with a tomato sauce then layer the chicken & spinach & pasta together
